    It's failing. Kinda.

    I got family in Brownsville which also happens by pure chance to be one of my secret big rig meal and sleepy spot away from packed and overflowing truckstops. Particualrly Indy south pilot off 465.

    Indy east is tough. I don't do well there.

    Its really hard to recall a load TO and FROM indy all these years, it's just cuthroat murder getting that #### traffic through there. I have had some VERY close calls in that area. VERY close. I just soon not to see that city.

    I live an hour from Sioux Falls, and lived in Sioux Falls for a number of years. While it does have a lot going for it, local trucking isn't one of them. I've been OTR for close to 30 years for a reason. Local jobs around SE South Dakota pay peanuts to drive crappy equipment on crappier roads in often terrible weather. And many of those local jobs are nightshift too. Not a lot to get excited by, for sure.
